Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mobile phone that receives a forwarding service performed by a call forwarding service center in which an incoming call, which is made when reception thereof is impossible, is forwarded to a telephone having a forwarding destination phone number, as well as a forwarding program storage medium that stores a forwarding program that is executed within a mobile phone to assign a forwarding function to the mobile phone.
- a user To use a call forwarding service, a user must operate his/her mobile phone and register a forwarding destination phone number in advance to a call forwarding service center. The mobile phone must also be operated every time a forwarding destination is changed. Many users may consider this to be burdensome. Accordingly, it is difficult for a user to perform operations in order to change forwarding destinations in response to moment-to-moment circumstances.
- Patent Document 2 proposes a method in which, in order to deal with situations where a forwarding destination is also incapable of communication, forwarding is performed to another mobile phone or fixed telephone in the same communication area among multiple registered incoming call forwarding destinations in the event that a mobile phone or a fixed telephone is incapable of receiving the incoming call and a pre-registered forwarding destination is also incapable of receiving the incoming call.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. H7-284154
- Patent Document 2 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-245357
- an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone and a forwarding program storage medium that stores a forwarding program, which enable a forwarding destination to be changed in a flexible manner to a mobile phone of a person that is likely to know a current movement of the original intended recipient.
- a mobile phone is capable of transmitting and receiving calls via wireless communication, and by pre-registering a forwarding destination phone number to a call forwarding service center, receives a call forwarding service provided by the call forwarding service center in which an incoming call, made when reception thereof was impossible, is forwarded to a telephone having the registered forwarding destination phone number, the mobile phone having:
- a wireless communication section that performs wireless communication including transmitting and receiving calls
- a close-range wireless communication section that performs close-range wireless communication with other mobile phones
- a forwarding destination storage section that stores a forwarding destination list in which numbers of one or more telephones capable of accepting forwarding are recorded
- a close-range wireless communication monitoring section that causes the close-range wireless communication section to perform close-range wireless communication and monitors establishment of close-range wireless communication with a forwarding acceptance telephone having a phone number that matches any of the phone numbers in the forwarding destination list stored in the forwarding destination storage section;
- a communication partner with which close-range wireless communication such as communication using a wireless LAN or Bluetooth has been established is automatically registered by performing such close-range wireless communication.
- establishment of close-range wireless communication implies that the forwarding destination is extremely near the original intended recipient, and therefore it is likely that the movement of the original intended recipient is known.
- forwarding destinations are automatically changed in response to current situations, operations for changing forwarding destinations are no longer required, and the burdens placed on users may be significantly reduced.
- the mobile phone according to the present invention preferably further includes:
- a calling source storage section that stores a calling source list in which phone numbers of one or more calling source telephones are recorded
- a calling source notification section that causes the close-range wireless communication section to notify a calling source phone number in the calling source list to a forwarding acceptance telephone with which close-range wireless communication by the close-range wireless communication section has been established in order to have the forwarding acceptance telephone accept forwarding of an incoming call from a telephone having the calling source phone number.
- the forwarding destination may only respond to necessary calls. As a result, the burden placed on the user of the forwarding destination can be reduced.
- the forwarding destination notification section causes, upon reception of a judgment made by the forwarding destination adequacy judgment section to the effect that the forwarding acceptance telephone with which close-range wireless communication by the close-range wireless communication section has been established is adequate as a forwarding destination, the wireless communication section to notify the phone number of the forwarding acceptance telephone to the call forwarding service center.
- Establishment of close-range wireless communication section may include cases where communication is established only momentarily, such as when the parties just happen to pass each other. Therefore, a user of a mobile phone for which close-range wireless communication is continually established over a certain amount of time is more likely to know the movement of the original intended recipient.
- the mobile phone according to the present invention is provided with the above forwarding destination adequacy judgment section to enable selection and use of an adequate forwarding acceptance telephone as a forwarding destination.
- the mobile phone further includes a position detection section that detects a current position, wherein the forwarding destination adequacy judgment section judges adequacy of the forwarding acceptance telephone, with which close-range wireless communication by the close-range wireless communication section has been established, as a forwarding destination based not only on the status of communication with the forwarding acceptance telephone, but also on changes in positions detected by the position detection section.
- a forwarding program storage medium is a storage medium that stores a forwarding program executed in a mobile phone which includes: a wireless communication section that performs wireless communication including transmitting and receiving calls; a close-range wireless communication section that performs close-range wireless communication with other mobile phones; and a processing section that executes the program, wherein, by pre-registering a forwarding destination phone number to a call forwarding service center, the mobile phone receives a call forwarding service provided by the call forwarding service center in which an incoming call, made when reception thereof was impossible, is forwarded to a telephone having the registered forwarding destination phone number, and the forwarding program assigning to the mobile phone a forwarding function including:
- a forwarding destination storage section that stores a forwarding destination list in which phone numbers of one or more telephones capable of accepting forwarding are recorded
